Means Of Transport Combination (Rail)

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I have rail scenario where 1 locomotive pulls 4 carriage ( wagon ) . Locomotive has no capacity and each carriage has 5000 KG of capacity. I create an order 20000 kg and expect the optimizer to plan my order to 1 locomotive and 4 carriages. I have already maintained locomotive and carriages as different means of transports. Locomotive is active Mtr and has no capacity, carriage is passive and has capacity. Means of transport combination is maintained as 1 locomotive with 4 carriages.

Does anyone have idea on how i can succeed on this ?

thanks..

Hello,

I have the exact same scenario set up for SAP TM 9.0 and by running the optimizer, there is no result coming up.

Is this flow supported at all? Anybody else has some experience with this?

Thanks

Hi, As mentioned in one of the previous post as well, please check the location of the resources, MoT combination settings. Also have you defined four different resources for your passive means of transport or there is one with Multi Resource checkbox checked. Regards, Lalit

Hello,

Thanks for your quick response Lalit.

The settings I have are the following:

Means of Transport 1:   TRAIN 

     - Transportation mode: RAIL

     - Resource class      "Locomotive"

     - Multiresource checkbox flagged

     - No. of individual resource 999

Means of Transport 2:    WAGON

     - Transportation mode: RAIL

     - Resource class      "Rail car"

     - Multiresource checkbox unflagged

     - Passive

Means of transport combination:

Mtr Comb     MTr     Number of resources with this MoTr

TRAIN01       TRAIN                 1

TRAIN01       WAGON             4

Capacity maintained for TRAIN01 = 250 Ton

With respect to transportation lanes, there is a lane maintained between the source and destination location where both means of transport are defined (TRAIN and WAGON)

With this settings, I create vehicle resources for TRAIN (locomotive) and WAGON (rail car).

By opening the transportation cockpit, I find that the resource for WAGON comes under the tab "Trailers". When I execute the optimizer I getthe error

"Resources with means of transport WAGON cannot be used"

Can someone explain how he set up this scenario to work?

thanks a lot

Hello Anis,

unfortunately not. Check out release 9.1! It should improve rail flows...

good luck!

Hello,

Did u already defined Transportation Lane for MoTr (1 locomotive) with Source & Destination Location?

Is your  carriage MoTr has muti resources check enabled in the MoTr definition?

It sounds like you have it configured correctly.  Can you describe your situation in a little more detail?

What happens when you try to plan your order?
